Hi Melinda!
You and Jon have always been an inspiration to me..even years back when we were in Sunday School together at White Plains. You both have such a wonderful vertical relationship…I mean with the Lord. If we don’t have that vertical relationship, then our horizontal relationships with our family will not be all they can be. I’m glad to see you are still drawing on your faith strongly through this time. We will be praying for you, your marriage, and your children. Blessings to you and Jon!

We are Diana and Paul from Raleigh also. We are currently in Ukraine in the process of adopting a 4 year old boy through CWA. It sounds like you are making the right choices for your new son to stay home and spend time with him. I will be praying for you! I (Diana) am planning to do the same when we get back to Raleigh. I know that you are very busy, but would love to touch base with you. If you are interested, please e-mail me.

Sounds like ya’ll are doing it right!! I have been praying for you guys and know how valuable this time is to your family and Elliot. You CAN catch those precious times up that he missed! Laurel has shown me just how resilient children can be. They are truly gifts from God. Praying that things will slow down medically for you guys and you’ll soon be able to just enjoy the ride! Hope to see you soon.

Good for you!! You have been praying for wisdom and God has given it to you. THat is EXACTLY what you need to do. Reconnect and see what your family will look like in 30 days. no phase lasts forever and and soon as you conquer one thing they’ll move on to something else! The joys are parenting. Congrats and can’t wait to meet little Elliot.
